BlightSTAT

What?

During monthly BlightSTAT meetings, City leaders and managers review performance results related to Mayor Landrieu’s strategy to reduce blighted units by 10,000 by the end of 2014.

Managers use the data from BlightSTAT to identify solutions, make adjustments, and improve overall performance.

Who?

In BlightSTAT, the OPA works with departments to develop performance measures and targets, prepares the analyses and reports, coordinates the public meetings, and follows up on identified action items to improve performance.

Methodology

For a description of the data sources for some of the most important recurring slides that appear in the analysis reviewed in BlightSTAT meetings, see our Methodology Page.

Recognition

In 2012, the Harvard University Kennedy School of Government Ash Center recognized the City’s blight reduction strategy, of which BlightSTAT is a major component, as a “Bright Idea in Government.”

The Bright Ideas initiative is designed to recognize and promote creative government initiatives and partnerships and create an online community where innovative ideas can be proposed, shared, and disseminated.
